Yeah. you are write...Events has answered me all the time...And I agree with your
ideas about
Gina...But, for the price, it has a lot of "bang for the buck" and it close the gap
for the
home project recordist...for under 500, you have a lot of power under your

how I see it...A very very useful toy....I am finishing a album on a pro studio, but
believe
me...most of my pre-production stuff has been done with Gina, and I would say that 40%
of my
home tracks will be transfered to the studio and this will save me a lot of
money...:-)))
